what spurns an update?

i stood and i watched as mayhem ensued,
blended in with the shadows surrounding
too tired? or not caring to bother?
stale from too many times intervening
poor decisions, silly planning, pushed on past the limits
had i cared to care, bothered to bear
occurance happen not?
maybe, possibly, likely

as mayhem ensued, glass shattering, arms flialing
i stood in the shadows and gawked like the others
thinking not of wat can be done
just gazing on, as things went on past

show over? red curtain closing?
or is it just the intermission?
stick my neck out?
Oh! why bother!
too little too late!
or just unwilling to stand?

too tired? or not caring to bother?
i retreat to retire
voices n shouts reach down
oh! so the shows not over

retired on my bed
i begin to ponder
why had i stood and watched, and not bothered?
too tired? or not caring to bother?
could either be but just poor excuses?

had i bothered to bear or share my cares
occurance happen not?
maybe, possibly, likely
on this shall i ponder

but whoose care to concern?
others, and the greater good?!?!
den wat about me?
who will care?
who should come first?

i wonder, i ponder, i struggle,
and finally i pray
i noe the answer
but still i struggle and i grapple
will i stand and watch, as mayhem ensues?
or get out and help
and may any occurance be
not as was such


well after months of no updates, what actually makes me update and at 2 am!???!?!?!
the perth royal show, passing driving, mid-semesters, all illicited null response.

well, the past months, while actually not bothered much about my own birthday,
i prefer it cosy and quiet, i've made special effort for others birthdays.
it takes ALOT of time, ideas, planning and energy! to make it fun and memorable,
like smashing cake (of cos a decoy), pouring icey soapy water, and other memorable stuff
while pple enjoy it, is it just a show? and exhibition for bystanders to enjoy? i dun noe
so i left it, let others have thier go, erm... revolving around alcohol? well its ok i suppose, since
dae all get wasted anyway

tonight or rather this morning, it was crap! i could have involved myself more!
no! dun be silly! dun do that! where's the plates? the spoons? wats the plan?
instead of just letting it be, and thinking 'they will learn' *snorts*

well, things got messy, cake flew, tempers flew, bottles smashed,
where's the celebration?

my new speakers!!!

hehehe... ok, despite my busy schedule, i did manage to squeeze in some time to treat my ears a little, and retired my teeny pc speakers for something a little bigger and alot better....

want cheap(er) and good? den welcome to the world of D.I.Y

while not exactly dirt cheap, it would kick ANY Pc Speakers...yup including those 5.1 / 7.1 stuff...

a good 4" woofer + good 1" tweeter in a PROPER resonant wooden box with some damping material, some proper crossovers, and the bestest cheapest amp available = budget kick-ass sound


OK, i cheated a little, and got the stuff pretti much IKEA style put-together... no dremeling and stuff like dat onli glue and screwdriver realli needed, but den i also had a brainwave, and decided to take my wooden boards to school for my erm friends to decorate or vandalize... one for college, one for uni, so i got too realli unique, cool and a-teensy-bit-cheapish looking speakers! hahaha....


"For little tiny speakers, they are, if I may be permitted a brief excursion into the vernacular, bloody good" - Dansdata

















Here's my desk with my new speakers... it realli opened up a new dimension in my music, EVERYTHING sounds so different and new....i'm re-listening to all my music and i keep hearing stuff i never heard b4!

















This is the venerable T-amp ....
"the giant killer" hahaha.....
despite being onli 15 watts, it realli realli is more than enuff!
i did try to crank it up to max just for kicks, but b4 even 1/2 way, my room was beyond tolerable noise levels...




















Front view of em.....


















Side view.... with grafitti... hehehe....

busi busi busi....

juz when i was wonderin y everyone from every other course was so stressed, it's time for the heat to be turned up for us med students.... haha....at least now it fits into what i expected med school to be like! there are heaps to cover and learn, n tonnes of assignments to write!

coming up tomorrow, medical chemistry test, due next week - rural week report and history essay, + histology quiz, physiology quiz... week after, case study report n clinical practise exam! after dat its more or less exam period! So fast!!!

On a brighter note, i did get back the gay fhab essay, quite happy wif my results, considered that i thot and wrote a 1000 word discussive essay, and changed it in the last minute to a 1500 word argumentative essay, which I had to cut by 500 words! to make it back to 1000 words! n i got my literature review back too!!! also did surpirsingly well 2! haha... i think i like these essay assignments! lol

hols over :(

phew... hols are finally over :( .... dat means schools startin again
n exams will be coming soon after....
On a brighter note though i did pass my first history essay, not
spectacularly, but i'm satisfied wif it!

oh n i've decided to limit myself to 4 pics...hehe...
not onli will i save myself the stress n trouble of trying to get blogspot
to properly allign the pics n words, but i can save time trying to choose n
resize all the photos

okok...more on rural week now....

short version - it was fun

slightly longer version with 4 pics......

4 our med program, all of us get bundled of to da country for a week,
to try n better understand rural healthcare and lifestyle, supposedly.

so dae bundled 40 of us med n dent students of to the not small but
sparshly populated shire of northampton!

while accomodation WAS modest, it was still OK for mi! afterall, the food
cannot be much worse then wat i had during ns in the cookhouse!

ok, pic 1....... dis was our groups name n poster..... no prizes for
guessin who the other groups were, dae are explicitly highlighted in
our group poster.

if ya look at the top right hand corner, u will see wat is an alpaca( dats one of da groups) FYI, the farmers rear alpaca's together with thier sheep, as the mild docile lookin animals in fact protect the sheep n can kick n kill any wild animals!

now if ya look at the bottom left hand corner, u will see a head that looks similar to the one
on the other groups poster( sans the stake n pool of blood)...


















besides going to the beach, watching the ANZAC day ceremony,
going to hosts dinners n stuffin ourselves dunring tea time, yeah, n doing interviews,

a literature review all 2 weeks early, i can sit back relax n laugh as pple struggle thru....

haha....

i mean wat kinda essay qn goes like dis,

The nature and reliability of evidence provokes considerable debate in researc circles. Modern health practices, whether denta;, medical or podiatric; are based on evidence. Much of this evidence is based upon statistical analysis, where a range of observations of some health parameter is summarized by calculation of a measure such as an average or a mean. These measures are ussually qualified by statements of the variation observed in the experimental groups. Consequently, perceptions of an individual being 'normal' or non-normal' are generated.......

any way its completed!!!!

muahahahaha......!!!!
